Vigour

Scent Breakdown

Vigour by Zimaya aims squarely for Bvlgari's Falkar. The opening is a warm, spicy hug – nutmeg and cinnamon are prominent, like a festive candle, but with a slightly sharper edge than Falkar. It's hitting around 86% similarity in the opening. The heart moves into a smoky, resinous territory with cypriol oil and olibanum. Here's where it deviates a bit more. Vigour has a more pronounced smokiness, edging towards burnt rubber in the first hour – Falkar is smoother, less challenging. The drydown leans heavily on oud, black musk, and saffron. This is where Vigour shines, delivering a long-lasting, slightly animalic, spicy woody base.

How Long Does it Last?

The longevity is impressive . I get a solid 7-8 hours on skin, with decent projection for the first 2-3. It's not a beast, but people will notice it. After 4 hours it settles to a nice personal scent bubble.

Is it Worth It?

Vigour is a very respectable clone of Falkar. While it might not be a perfect 1:1, especially with that initial smoky "bite," the drydown is where it really delivers. It's a fantastic everyday wear for cooler months or evenings out. If you are picky about a perfectly smooth blend, save up for the OG. Otherwise, this is a banger .
